Review on 🧽 Starmax Super Absorbent PVA Roller Mop - Pack of 4 - 060-44: The Ultimate Mopping Solution by Mark Gilbert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Update: AVOID: It's worth spending a lot more money for a much better mop.

Good. The mechanics are junk, the screws are junk, and the mop heads are pressed into metal so hard they break. Note that I let mine soak for 30 minutes or more. The only brand I know that is still good in this category is "Super". Rubbermaid used to be okay, but that's not the case now. They were once made by Mr. Clean but they were about the same quality as Rubbermaids and I haven't seen them in years. Unfortunately, the Super Mop costs over $7 to ship to Revain, and the promised delivery time isn't exactly short. . (I would happily pay full price or more for Prime). In my original review, I said it's probably not worth the high cost, but I was wrong. I will order a Super Mop and hopefully find cheaper replacement heads through Prime (which will likely require drilling holes to fit the Super Mop). I would love to buy a deluxe super mop but as you can only get these heads from the company and they don't ship very quickly I have to buy the standard version. First review: I love PVA mops. , but it hasn't been able to find the high density that was common in the past, and the mop head only goes part way through the trigger handle. No matter how much you soak it, I'll soak it forever. It's a compression mechanism. In addition, the screws will rust before the mops wear out. It seems to be a general problem. Mops with PVA have a marketing problem. To be good, they have to cost a lot of money - the density of the sponge is very high, the equipment has to be durable - and no matter how good they are, you have to soak them for at least the minimum recommended time, or they will disrupt. (and of course, all that soaking requires stainless screws, but manufacturers aren't going to shell out an extra few cents, which is going to cost.) A lot of PVA newbies give bad reviews about all PVA mops, regardless of quality, because I don't like it don't pretend to wait for the mop to finish. I'd love to see O'Cedar or some other mop company recycle it from scratch and distribute it at scale. When PVA mops work, nothing beats their cleaning power.
